Cuttack: The Orissa High Court on Thursday directed the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to undertake repair of Jaya-Vijaya Dwar of Jagannath Temple in Puri between July 15 and 25, during the nine-day annual sojourn of the Lords.
The court has asked the officials concerned to complete the repair work within those 10 days by working 12 hours a day.
Hearing a case pertaining to Jagamohan repair, the court also directed the ASI to inspect the status of Mausima and Gundicha temples.
